Exhausting day. Things shouldn't be this exhausting. I blame the heat. I am turning into the character in my play, I swear it's actually happening. Without the death bit at the end. I hope.
Teaching all morning at the 'other' school, which drifted into the early afternoon, and then I had to host a drumming assembly there for music week. V came down to sing and play keys and we played three songs as an impromptu FH duo, which wasn't as bad as it could have been. Two kids cried with happiness...it was their first ever gig and we struck a chord. We actually change lives by doing this, it's weird because to us we're just playing songs, but two of them really took this to heart.
Mad dash back, gave V a lift home, she did me proud today. That made me late for my lessons though and the whole day just kind of spiralled into me being later and later for each one. Four private lessons (first one: fine, the kid gets it, easy stuff, second one: another new student which I don't have time for but I struggle to say no and it fills the gap that I usually fill with the college stuff - he's young, never played before, this'll take time but he has a nice family and it'll work, third one: awesome, fourth one: really awesome - this was the student who I had double-booked twice in a row so had offered to do this as a freebie but the parents paid me anyway because of how well this is all going).
Left the house at 9am, home by 9.30pm. This wasn't how I planned things but the fringe is expensive. A is getting a bit concerned about my hours, my health, all that stuff. She really cares.
